FOSS alternatives to Syncthing?
FOSS alternatives to Syncthing?
Other than having to make a workaround by creating an auto-syncing script through at least, like, probably 2 other apps... hmm...

Syncthing-Fork
It's been around for several years.
-
I mean aside from that, since the fork is based on the original. I already use it, but people are fearing that it, too, will follow soon.
-
Maybe I'm out of the loop but, follow what soon? Did something happen to Syncthing?
-
Its discontinued by the dev because of google play restrictions so last update is in december 2024
-
Also attributed to burnout.
-
google's fuckery would burn me out too
-
Even just watching other open source projects go through it is demoralizing to me, and I'm not a contributor.

That's incredibly sad. Hopefully Syncthing-fork can continue on.

-
Clarification: syncthing was not discontinued, only the (3rd party) most popular android app for it was.
-
-
Unlikely. The maintainer was pushing updates more frequently and sooner than the original app. it'll be fine
Otherwise, look into cryptomator. A completely different approach, it makes use of your existing cloud storage accounts, but at least more private then using those directly. It probably requires internet access all the time a file is accessed, though, but check the docs to be sure.

I use Cryptomator on desktop and Android and while I think it is a slightly different use case than syncthing, it can probably cover a lot of similar uses. And yeah, on Android you don't actually have a local copy of all your stuff, you can just upload, download, or edit text files.
